The song sounds fine if you play the chords without using these special
fingerings; these are just to get the exact same octave that Declan plays
in the original recordings of the songs.
If you're playing with these special fingerings, treat the two halfs of
the song as different songs altogether: only use the fingerings for the
first half when playing the first half of the song and only use the
fingerings for the second half when playing the second half.
